We performed a comparison between ASP.NET and Microsoft Visual Studio based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two .NET Development Services solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."While using ASP.net, we can create interactive websites."
"The most valuable feature is that it's easy to use."
"ASP.NET is stable. I did not have to do any maintenance on it."
"One of the most valuable features in ASP.NET is thread management with asynchronous processing. I've been implementing this for a few years and it has proven to be extremely helpful, especially when using a tool that wouldn't have worked without it. It's definitely a fundamental aspect of the platform."
"It's a pretty stable solution."
"I have found the entity framework to be a valuable feature. The authentication layer is amazing as well. ASP.NET has a vibrant community, and as a result, we haven't had the need to contact technical support."
"ASP.NET works well with Windows applications and more generally, the Windows platform."
"We use ASP.NET to develop web applications and web API. I'm working at a government financial institution in Mexico that helps citizens buy a house"
"We can write programming code, write our test cases and automate tests in Visual Studio.NET."
"I like the performance, stability and ease of use."
"The most valuable aspect of this solution is the integrated development environment. It also offers a very good integration with Microsoft Cloud."
"We can use different .NET features."
"Visual Studio makes it easier to compile the code and shows me the errors upfront when coding. For example, it will tell me when a reference is incorrect or if there's a mistake within the function calls. I like how it highlights with a red underline so that I know there's an error at that point."
"It's a very easy-to-use product."
"The most valuable features of Microsoft Visual Studio are the availability of many extensions, an interpreter, a code formator, and helpful dark and light modes."
"Notably, the Enterprise version facilitates seamless integration with Microsoft products, leveraging the ease of connectivity within the Microsoft ecosystem."
"I'd like to be able to run any application from a specific point instead of compiling all the code. For example, if I want to test function A, I should be able to test it even if my other functions aren't working. Like in SQL, you provide parameters to the function, and it executes. I'd like to see something similar in ASP.NET."
"It should be open source or deployable to any operating system so that the dependency can be removed."
"The caching could improve in ASP.NET. I don't often run into limitations with ASP.NET. More often, it's the other tools we use that slow us down."
"The technology to integrate with cloud information could be improved."
"Performance is an area that can always be improved."
"ASP.NET is a very slow tool, and it should be faster."
"Sometimes it can be really difficult to debug using ASP.NET. When there's an issue, trying to find out the cause is not always easy, so debugging is the top area for improvement, in my opinion."
"In addition to the visual aspect, there is a need for ASP.NET to provide a robust visual front end like there was in the past."
"Microsoft Visual Studio could benefit from a more centralized education system."
"This solution could be integrated with other open-source languages, such as Python and not only C#, .NET or Microsoft development languages."
"The GUI of Microsoft Visual Studio could improve."
"It would be nice if Visual Studio's extensions and updates could self-correct, if they are not working or disabled, and also inform the user."
"Technical support can be slow to respond at times."
"The solution is not really good at debugging JavaScript, jQuery, or SQL"
"The initial setup could be more straightforward."
"I'd like the product to become more secure. You could potentially, for example, download an extension that contains malware."
